Sinopse

Albert Camus's best-known and most important work of fiction, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. With the emotion of a perfectly executed thriller and the power of a parable, The Stranger is the seminal work of one of the most committed and respected writers of the century.

The Stranger tells the story of an ordinary man who confronts the absurdity of the human condition after almost unconsciously committing a crime. Meursault, who lived his freedom to come and go without realizing it, suddenly loses it, caught up in circumstances, and ends up discovering a greater and more frightening freedom in his own ability to self-determine. A reflection on freedom and the human condition that left profound marks on Western thought. One of the most beautiful narratives of this century.

Written in 1957, The Stranger is the most popular of Algerian-born Frenchman Albert Camus's books. So popular that it even spawned a song by the English rock band The Cure ("Killing an Arab"). So popular because, besides being a dry narrative of Mersault's misadventures, it is also the narrative of the misadventures of 20th-century man. A kind of autobiography of everyone. His drama can be read as the drama of any man of the century, the man who confronts the absurd, a central point of Camusian thought.

When Mersault discovers that absurdity and freedom are two sides of the same coin, and that one implies the other, he finally finds peace. It is the story of this understanding, this encounter, that Camus presents to us. The Stranger presents itself as a somewhat perverse kind of self-help book.
